Updated: Apr 5, 2024

Hey there, mamas! Buckle up because I'm about to spill the beans on how my wild ride through parenthood begins. Picture this: it's not just a routine, it's my body's instinctual dance to the chaos and joy ahead. But hey, I'm here to share the nitty-gritty with you in my signature fun, chatty style.


So, get ready to dive in and maybe snag some nuggets of wisdom that could make your parenting journey a tad smoother. Let's roll!




Wake Up

Usually, my wake-up time is from 7-8 am it just depends on how I am feeling and when my kids decide to wake up. During this time I like to embrace every moment I get to rest.


Make bed & Journaling

I always forget to do this but this is essential if I don’t do it something feels strange in the day it just tells my brain that my day has started.


Unload Dishwasher

My Favorite thing to do in the kitchen is this way everything is all set for success opening space for unclean dishes so I don’t have to do it by hand and the kitchen looks better overall.


Make breakfast

Now is Coffee and Milk time. We always make breakfast with some eggs or toast my kids love it and enjoy the breakfast time.





School Time

My toddler is just starting to read this is a very exciting time for us especially for me. Since I started to homeschool I have always doubted myself and this proves to me that I can do it and that my babies are going to be find in the homeschooling journey.


Kids Shower

To be honest this is a necessary reset for my family I think without Bath time I wouldn’t be able to survive. This is so relaxing for them Luna gets to relax, and Matias gets to play both in the bathtub and ready for the next activities.


Independent play

This is usually a very short time. After the shower, they get to play a little bit in their room and then straight to sleep.


Nap

Zzz

During this time I get to clean the house a little bit and sometimes write my blog post even though is a short time I just prioritize whatever is most important and urgent at the moment.


Lunch Time

By the time the kids fully wake up I am still prepping Lunch but for sure almost ready. Hubby is usually home depending on his schedule for the week and we eat together.


My Shower Time

Yei, I get to shower. Yes, I try to shower every day this is a very busy schedule for a pregnant woman but it helps me be active and since it happens every day I am used to it and this is my time to reset myself, gives me energy and motivation to continue the day ahead.




Read time

Snack time and read time usually happen at the same time if I don’t get to read then I am playing with the kids this is not a must-follow schedule for me is a guide for when the day gets overwhelming I know what to do next and so on.


Screen Time

Usually, we watch a movie or some cartoon with my toddler.


Dinner

While they watch the show I am in the kitchen almost always watching the TV as well but preparing dinner at the same time and then we get ready for dinner and…


Get ready for bed

Favorite time of the day to be honest. Night Night time.


Wrapping things up, Mammas! Now, when it's time to hit the hay, I've got a new game plan. Instead of burning the midnight oil like the good ol' days, I'm jumping into bed right alongside my babies. Gotta catch those Z's to power up for the adventures of tomorrow, right?


So, spill the beans, pals! Is my routine hitting the sweet spot, or am I dancing on the edge of chaos?

And hey, I'm all ears for your own tricks and tips! Share 'em down below—I'm itching to hear what works wonders for you. Let's swap stories!


"Much Love,

Estefany"
